當2條蛇都很飢餓時,你可別讓牠們相遇。
澳洲阿得雷德(Adelaide)2只「貪吃蛇」爲了爭食一隻死老鼠,糾纏在一起互不相讓,各自緊咬老鼠屍體的一端,眼看着就要互吃了。
捕蛇專家布瑞爾(Rolly Burrell)說,「一條吃了老鼠的一隻腿,另一條也吞了老鼠的一部分,牠們再這樣繼續下去,最終一條會吃了另一條,自己也會窒息而死。」
2條滑溜溜的蛇像繩索般緊緊糾纏,布瑞爾和另一名捕蛇專家辛苦地將牠們分開,過程中還得避免被咬傷。
「讓蛇在餵食的時間相遇,真是自找麻煩。」布瑞爾說。

Feeding pet snakes at home isn't always easy as some of you know - this does happen - that is why it is always best to separate your animals before feeding - and it doesn't just happen with snakes! I have seen this happen before but to much greater depth where one water python had swallowed it's mate water python down to almost a metre, luckily they were found in time and both snakes survived!
